aloft and his people have returned and are winning 

 now." 



Then the Eagle, looking round the field, said, " Send 

 me the Bee." 



And when the Bee came the Eagle told him what 

 to do ; and setting quietly about his work, as his habit 

 is, he made a circuit through the trees that brought 

 him to the hill where the Jackal watched from the 

 ant-heap. 



While the Jackal stood there with his mouth open 

 and tongue out, laughing to see how his cheating had 

 succeeded, the Bee came up quietly behind and, as 

 Jantje put it, " stuck him from hereafter ! " 



The Jackal gave a scream of pain and, tucking his 

 tail down, jumped from the ant-heap and ran away 

 into the bush ; and when the Things of the Earth 

 saw the signal go down they thought that all was lost, 

 and fled. 



So was the Great Battle won !
